I would like to share another mouth watering recipe of chicken, which goes well with chapatis and special rice. Here cashewnuts are grinded along with grated coconut. This paste forms a rich gravy and provides an amazing taste to our chicken kuruma.

Also, the addition of ground paste which includes coriander leaves and mint leaves enhances the flavor of this curry. It will be better to soak the cashew nuts in water for 30 minutes before grinding, as you can easily grind it.

This is a thick gravy curry. The texture of this curry can be adjusted as per your wish. If you need little loose gravy, add 1/4 cup of hot water to the curry. Check out this special chicken kuruma and do let me know your valuable feedbacks.
